Frames and Forms in Packages
lazarus / 10-Designer

I have added 2 descents of TFrame into a custom package two different
ways.  Each seems to be "different" but neither do what I expect:

1) I created a new TFrame and designed it in the designer.  I added
the *.pas and *.lfm file to the package through the add file buttons. 
This one I can edit visually but it does not show in the toolbar of my
custom package (I do see the Register Unit) checkbox that does what I
believe adds it to the toolbar)

2) I create a new TFrame descendent from the dialog box in the package
"Add".  This sets it all up to be in the toolbar but there is no *.lfm
file to edit it visually.

So what is the correct way to do this?  Can you have a *.lfm file for
a TFrame or TForm descendent in a custom package?

Ok so I did the work to put version 1) into the package.  It showed up
as a component on the toolbar but when I drop it in a Form none of the
child controls show up at design time.  They appear when I run the
application.  This is 1.2 RC1 under Mavericks.
